Uncle Istvan

Description

Released in 2006 as part of the Time Spiral expansion, Uncle Istvan belongs to the Timeshifted subset, which brought forward classic cards from earlier Magic: The Gathering sets. This product represents card number 51 in that subset, featuring a creature with a mana cost of {1}{B}{B}{B} and a power/toughness of 1/3. Designed by artist Daniel Gelon, the card is printed with a Special rarity treatment, making it a distinct addition to any collector's library focused on the Time Spiral era. Uncle Istvan stands out for its ability to prevent all damage that would be dealt to the creature by other creatures. This defensive mechanism makes it a compelling piece for players and collectors who appreciate strategic depth in black-aligned cards. For collectors building a Time Spiral set, this card provides essential coverage for the Timeshifted portion. It also appeals to those who focus on creature types, specifically Humans, or those interested in cards with unique protective effects. Whether you are completing a set or expanding your collection of rare Magic cards, Uncle Istvan offers both historical significance and gameplay utility.
